For a long time now team battle (having 2 players vs 2 players) has been around albeit with shifty and unclear rules. Since this format has always been "for fun" and never a serious tournament build, its rules are rather sketchy and people tend not to play it that much.
However, I feel that team battle is one of the funnest ways to play the game. After all, half the reason I go to events is to catch up with friends, and being able to battle with friends at your side is much more fun than trying to power through the same old problem against a single opponent. Team battle also opens up many more possible strategies and combos than would be in just single play.
Perhaps lack of interest in the player base is one of the reasons team battle never launched. I want to know what some of you think if team battle were to become part of the format in some way: would anyone be willing to participate in it, would it be preferred? Seeing as how I've only really discussed it with my friends, I'm unsure what the community as a whole thinks about this issue.
If the rules were to be solidified and balanced for team play (there has been some effort in this field already) what would you guys like to see done to incorporate team battle into the format (if anything)?
Also, lets keep this moderately serious plz. Thanks,
